Abstract

Often it is desirable to present content (e.g., documents, websites, etc.) in a conference or meeting. Presenters may encounter relevant content at various times prior to the conference. Tracking content to be used in a presentation (e.g., conference, meeting, journal, etc.) is more easily facilitated by allowing a user to tag content and thereby associate the content with a conference. For example, a user may drag-and-drop a webpage to a calendar event associated with a conference or vice versa. When the conference occurs, the documents are presented or made available to the conference participants without requiring additional human action.

Claims

1. A server, comprising:

a network interface;

a processor;

a data storage accessible to the processor;

the processor, upon the occurrence of a time event, accesses a record in the data storage, the record comprising tagged content and, the processor accesses the record comprising tagged content, and causes indicia of the tagged content to be presented by a user device.

2. The server of claim 1, wherein the indicia of the tagged content comprises a link to the content location within the data storage.

3. The server of claim 1, wherein the indicia of the tagged content comprises an Internet address.

4. The server of claim 1, wherein the processor causes the network interface to present the conference to the user device.

5. The server of claim 1, wherein the processor, receives a signal from the user device via the network interface and, in accordance with the signal, downloads the content to the user device.

6. The server of claim 1, wherein the processor, receives a signal from the user device via the network interface and, in accordance with the signal, downloads a link to the content to the user device.

7. The server of claim 1, wherein the time event is determined to take place at a time associated with a conference, the conference being associated with the record.

8. The server of claim 7, wherein the time event is determined to take place at a time associated with at least one of a speaker or an agenda item of the conference.

9. The server of claim 1, wherein the processor causes indicia of the tagged content to be presented by a user device, further comprises the processor causing indicia of the tagged content to be presented to a conferencing application executed by the user device.

10. A method, comprising:

presenting content on a user device;

receiving an input, by a user interacting with the user device, indicating an association between the content and a conference occurring in the future;

in response to receiving the indication of the association, causing a conferencing server to associate the conference with the content; and

upon the occurrence of the conference, presenting the content association to a user device of a viewer of the conference.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the server associates the conference with the content by maintaining a link to the content.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the server associates the conference with the content by maintaining a copy of the content.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein the association comprises a conference identifier of the conference.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein the association comprises updating a conference identifier of the conference from an existing conference identifier to a new conference identifier.

15. The method of claim 10, wherein the presenting of the content further comprises presenting indicia of the content within the conference.

18. The method of claim 10, wherein the server associates the conference with the content by maintaining a copy of the content.

19. The method of claim 10, wherein the association comprises a conference identifier input to the user device.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the association comprises a conference identifier input to the user device received by an input operation of an application utilized to present the content on the user device.

16. A method, comprising:

presenting indicia of a conference on a user device, the conference occurring in the future;

receiving an input, by a user interacting with the user device, indicating an association between the conference and content;

in response to receiving the indication of the association, causing a conferencing server to associate the conference with the content; and

upon the occurrence of the conference, presenting the content association to a user device of a viewer of the conference.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the server associates the conference with the content by maintaining a link to the content.
